In the space of barely fifteen years, the history of masculinity
has become an important dimension of social and cultural history.
John Tosh has been in the forefront of the field since the
beginning, having written A Man's Place: Masculinity and the
Middle-Class Home in Victorian England (1999), and co-edited Manful
Assertions: Masculinities in Britainsince 1800 (1991). Here he
brings together nine key articles which he has written over the
past ten years. These pieces document the aspirations of the first
contributors to the field, and the development of an agenda of key
historical issues which have become central to our conceptualising
of gender in history. Later essays take up the issue of
periodisation and the relationship of masculinity to other
historical identities and structures, particularly in the context
of the family. The last two essays, published for the first time,
approach British imperial history in a fresh way. They argue that
the empire needs to be seen as a specifically male enterprise,
answering to masculine aspirations and insecurities. This leads to
illuminating insights into the nature of colonial emigration and
the popular investment in empire during the era the New
Imperialism.
